6 signs you are dating a gold digger

Is your partner with you for your heart or wallet? Watch out.

The days you wonder how you landed up having such a hot and amazing partner, you need to check if it’s your love or dough that they are aiming for. It’s not difficult to come across gold diggers if you are earning enough and there’s no gender bias. You’ll find equal numbers of male and female gold diggers. So in a relationship, rely on your gut instinct and watch out for these signs that indicate you might be dating a gold digger:

First date conversations: These aren’t like normal date conversations where you get to know each other or your hobbies or what you do in free time. They’ll keep discussing finances, how difficult it is to survive without the moolah, ask you how much do you spend or make in a month. Some even go bragging about how the love high-end brands and luxury, if only they could afford it. Read: 8 questions you must ask on a first date.

Not serious about career: S/he works but only for the sake of it. They don’t dream about professional growth and are not serious regarding their job. They are happy with whatever little they make that works like pocket money for them. Their tastes are the Richie-rich types and they might even own a few such items but they’ll usually be gifts because their income doesn’t prove they can afford it ever. For the other wants and luxurious expenses, they are on a look out for someone like you.

Who takes the bill: Is that even a question? She usually doesn’t carry a wallet or forgets her credit card when you are out shopping. In the case of men, they spend on you initially and then take it all out of you with high-interest rates. She even asks you to recharge her phone or pay some other bills showing an emergency situation. Isn’t this proof enough that s/he is a gold digger, especially if they aren’t paying you back for the amount you’ve spent on them?

Apologies equal gifts: If an expensive gift, a luxurious holiday or a fine-dine dinner date is what it requires to please your partner instead of a heartfelt apology, that’s the red flag. It’s surprising how they forget what you fought about the moment they see that branded watch or bag. Read: Body cues to watch out for on a date.

Mood changes: The days you give them what they want, you are a rock star and the love of their life. On other days when you need them to just be around or talk your heart out, they’d rather be making better plans with their other richie-rich friends. In the case of male gold diggers, they’ll pamper you when you are down and try and extract money out of you to get some flowers, gifts for you so they can sneak in some cash out of it.

The crocodile tears: The only time your partner gets emotional is when they want to extract more money from you. They suddenly have a landlord who harasses them or a loan instalment they can’t afford. Their tears or tension is only so that the love-struck you melts and offers the bank and debit card passwords to them. They’ll even keep saying how guilty they feel for making you spend and soon you will do better and repay everything. Well, before that day comes, they’ll be off digging gold in better pastures.
